     1/2           cup  basil -- (fresh if possible)
     1/3           cup  cheese -- (parmesan or

Preparation:

Take baguette of herbed bread. Slice into approx 1" thick pieces. Cover both surfaces with butter (seasoned is best -- we use basil, oregano, garlic and pepper). Place slices on a baking pan. In a small saucepan, combine wine, oil/butter, garlic (and clams or shrimp) and simmer for five minutes. Add basil (and parmesan or romano cheese) and heat for about a minute and then remove from heat. Let stand until thick. Spoon pesto over the bread. Put sliced tomatoes on top and cover with slice of mozzarella. Place baking pan in the oven and broil until the cheese starts to brown.
